Continued From Page 1 almost hear the ripple and the gurgle oi Beaver creek through huge pip lines carrying sparkling drops of water, pure and unpolluted. But better than this, Ihey will have this splendid water, brought from the cool and shady heights, at their disposal. To Jie Mayor and ' Common Council of the City of La Grande. 4 We, the undersigned members of your special committee, accompanied by the city surveyor, appointed for the purpose of examining the quantity and quality of the water of Beaver Creek, with a view of obtaining an adequate water supply for the city of La Grande, beg to report as follows: We examined and measured the flow of water in Beaver Creek, at a point about ten miles above the mouth of the stream and found the water perfectly cleat and as cold as th water of any of th streams coming from the higher mountains. The water is first class in every respect and is entirely'free from any taste of vegeta tion or other organic matter. W meas ured the water flow at the place most convenient for obtaining material for constructing temporary dams in the stream, and found that there was 1,842, 431.89 gallons of water flowing in the stream during twenty four hours. This i th actual measurment of the water as measured on the surfece of the gravel in the creek bed, without taking any account of water seeping through the gravel. It is our opinion, that if the water could have been measured on bedrock, there is as much as two and one half million gallons now flowing in the stream during twenty four hours. And . from observation and information obtained, the water is as low in the mountain stream now as it is at any time during the dryest seasons. We run a level from the lowest point on the ridge on the east side of Beaver creek and found that it would require a pipe line about two and one half miles in length to get the water out of Beaver Creek Canyon. This pipe line would be nearly in a direct line from th head of the pipe line to La Grande, It is our opinion, that there is sufficient water in Beaver Creek at the point where w mad th examination, to esupply all the requirement of th city of La Orande with pure, cold water of (hi very best quality. The distance to La Grande from th point of th diversion of the water from Beaver Creek in a direct line is about thirteen miles and on half. The basin or Watershed of Beaver Crtek above th point of diversion is covered with a heavy growth of timber, principally black pine, and is all vacant government land excepting one quarter section, and the whole ot the water shed is embraced in the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve, and by proper Application to the Secretary of Agriculture, no doubt the city could have it set aside as a permanent water supply for the city of La Grande.' The stream heads in the high mountains on a nothern slope of the range, known as the Poca hantas or Powder River Peaks and. for that reason the water is excepionally cold and pure. We therefore recommend, that proper action be immediately taken, to secure a water supp.y for the city from Beaver Cre-ik, and that the Council emplcy and construct the city engineer ' to survey the pipe line from Beaver Creek, beginning at or near the point on the stream referred. to this in report, to the city of La Grande, and to furnish plans aud specifications, together with estimates of cost of construction of such, a pipe tine and to report the same to the City Council at the earliest possible date.
